摘要
The Redigel system uses a calcium pectate gel in place of agar in an alternative method for determining aerobic colony counts in food. The system was compared with the conventional Aerobic Plate Count method for the determination of each food being tested. The correlation coefficient for each food product ranged from 0.10 (wheat flour) to 1.00 (pecans) with an overall correlation of 0.964. The Redigel system can be used as a conventional alternative method for the numeration of bacteria from foods. © 1991, Academic Press Limited. All rights reserved.
